DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) is one of the must-buy US stocks to invest in. The EU Commission indicated on August 19 that it will review DoorDash’s planned acquisition of Deliveroo under the European Union’s simplified merger procedure. DoorDash reached a deal in May to acquire Deliveroo, a UK-based food delivery firm. The deal is a cash acquisition valued at approximately £2.9 billion, equivalent to roughly $3.9 billion. The offer of 180 pence per share represents a 44% premium to Deliveroo’s closing share price on April 4, 2025.

DoorDash officially notified the European Commission about the proposed acquisition on August 14, 2025. The Commission has identified September 19, 2025, as a provisional date by which a decision on the deal is expected.

If approved, the takeover would expand DoorDash’s presence in the UK and wider European market. The combined company could have a monthly active user base of around 50 million across over 40 countries, reaching more than 1 billion people. The 2024 combined gross transaction value (GTV) for the two companies is reported to be $90 billion.
